RWE has officially launched the Community Benefit Fund for its Limondale Solar Farm. Located about 14km from Balranald, this large-scale solar farm is capable of generating enough electricity to power the equivalent of up to 105,000 homes each year. The fund will provide USD 40,000 per year to good causes within the Balranald Shire.
Recently, Limondale Solar Farm reached full capacity, an important milestone as the project continues to transition to the operations and maintenance phase.
RWE ensures that it works closely with local communities throughout the development, construction and operation of its renewable projects; to make sure there is a long-standing benefit from the delivery of its projects to the local area as well as the environment.
The fund is overseen by an independent community committee and administered by Balranald Inc and will be available annually to local community groups, individuals, and charities. All funding decisions are made by the community committee which includes members of Balranald Inc. and local representatives, that way they can best judge which projects would benefit their community the most.
